:D

I met with that Chairman again (third time total) and did the scene just before Buttercup pushes the man in black down the ravine. He said I had really nice, clear characterization, I had good diction, Buttercup had a definite character, and from what he saw, he thinks I have potential.

Which means he told me to go ahead with the audition/platform AND even though we had only met a few times, he (since he is the Chairman) is going to waive two, if not all the pre-requisite classes I'm signed up for next semester.
He let me borrow a few books so I can catch up on some jargon that I would have learned in the classes he's waiving.

AND he is going to recommend to the Head of the department that I have the platform/audition at the end of the summer instead of the end of next semester.

AND he said that it would be pointless to prepare something that I won't be using in the future, BUT if I wanted to work on some of the pieces for my platform/audition, then he would be more than willing to work with me on them.

:D

I'm so excited!
